Comment on “Reconstruction of the Exhumed Mantle Across the North Iberian Margin by Crustal‐Scale 3‐D Gravity Inversion and Geological Cross Section” by Pedrera et al.

Abstract

Key Points The crustal model proposed by Pedrera et al. (2017) is not supported by the available deep seismic data set The gravity model is built upon inaccurately retrieved residual gravity anomalies and uses inappropriate density values The sequential restoration shows geometric‐structural inconsistencies, mechanical difficulties, and problematic isostatic and kinematic implications
